Job Description
We are looking for a Senior Physicist to join our System Integration & Performance team, who develop and integrate the key technologies that push the frontiers of quantum computing forward.
As a System Integration & Performance team member, you'll be part of a cross-functional team whose mission is to prototype the quantum computers that become our future products. You'll work closely with other scientists and engineers to develop and optimize new technologies that enable high-performance quantum computers. You will work with technical leaders across the organization to identify and eliminate pain points and help inform future system designs to support better and more stable system performance.
Responsibilities:
- Serve on a team responsible for developing and integrating new quantum computers and testbeds
- Contribute to the system design, modeling, assembly, and characterization of a trapped ion quantum computer
- Measure and analyze data on the performance of our quantum computers and continuously improve their performance
You'd be a good fit with:
- A PhD in experimental quantum physics or related experience
- 3+ years of experience in quantum control or sensing, preferably of trapped ions or neutral atoms
- Experience with either JavaScript or Python programming.
- Strong desire to be hands-on, with the ability to spend the majority of your time working on hardware and systems with the team and being involved at all levels of detail
You'd be a great fit with:
- A PhD in trapped ion quantum computing
- Experience aligning and characterizing diffraction-limited optical systems and interferometers
- 6+ years of experience leading full-lifecycle development of complex optical systems and experiments
- Experience with concepts and methods of manufacturing and testing of complex software-controlled optomechanical systems
- Experience working with ion traps or ultra-cold neutral atoms, ultra-high vacuum, and cryogenic systems
Location: This role is based onsite at our headquarters in College Park, MD.
The approximate base salary range for this position is $107,123 - $140,251.
